Re: Livelooping with a band..amazing!



I always wonder why guys like Belew get trashed when they tread over
old ground, yet guys like B.B. King more or less did the exact same
thing their entire career and are heralded as gods.

Also, this is but a tiny bit about what Adrian's been up to.  Download
the free "Ghosts I-IV" by NIN and he's all over that and sounds
nothing at all like the stuff off Side 1.
